I went to Italy for five days at the end of October in search of "weather" and got more than I bargained for. On this day I could have counted the minutes of sunshine on my fingers and toes, but it was a lot better than none at all, which is what I got the following day.

Many thanks to you all for the comments! I really do appreciate them. I'm leaving soon for another mountain excursion, this time backpacking at about 6,000 feet, and I just read the weather report predicting the cloud layer to be a thousand feet lower than that. So...probably no cloud drama for me on this next trip...oh well!
